He had everything but purpose. She had grit, scars, and a ranch held together by hope and heartbreak. Sometimes, all you need is the wrong person at the right time. *** Beau Sterling is used to parties, privilege, and chaos-until a scandal erupts, leaving him exiled from Dallas high society and dumped at an Oklahoma ranch with nothing but his designer boots and a summer ultimatum. Lose the trust fund or learn the value of hard work, and maybe, just maybe, himself. Naomie "Winnie" Jameson survived heartbreak young and learned never to depend on charm or promises. She runs her family's ranch with stubborn pride, a sharp tongue, and a soft spot for second chances, even if those chances come wearing champagne stains and a fear of chickens. But Beau isn't just another spoiled city boy. Behind the headlines and bad decisions, he's the friend she lost years ago, the boy who once made her laugh, now trying to find his place in a world that doesn't want him. Thrust together by circumstance, they clash over everything except a shared grief, a wild streak, and the stubborn hope that this could be more than temporary. Between mucking stalls, surviving prairie wildfires, and dodging a vicious rooster named Pickles, Winnie and Beau discover that sometimes love finds you in the mess: in the silence after heartbreak, in muddy boots, in promises you're terrified to believe. And when Dallas calls him home, Beau must decide: Is he willing to risk everything for the girl who taught him how to stay?

"You don't have to tell me everything, just let me be the one who's there for you." She lied to fit in. He's breaking under pressure. But when their worlds collide, truth is the only thing that can save them. Maliyah Thompson is used to being invisible. At Milton Prep a private school on the Upper East Side, she wears knockoff designer bags and tells fake stories. No one knows she takes the train back to Brooklyn. No one knows her mom works two shifts to keep her enrolled. And no one knows the price she's paying to stay. Liam Weber isn't invisible. He's the new star athlete, handpicked from Europe to lead the team to a champion win. But under the surface? He's unraveling. The pressure, the secrets, the father who only sees him as a ticket to the NBA. When Liam accidentally slams a door into Maliyah's face, neither of them expects that moment to change everything. But it does.

Six years ago, Blanchard Collins packed her bags, boarded a bus to Houston, and never looked back. She left behind her abusive father, the town that never forgave her for speaking her mind, and Rueben Bailey, the boy who broke her heart the night before they were supposed to run away together. Now twenty-four, Blanchard returns home with her five-year-old daughter, Willow, and a dying mother who's asked for one final thing-her presence. But coming home means facing the ghosts she thought she'd buried, including the man she's never truly stopped loving. Rueben "Benny" Bailey did what his family expected. Stayed, took over the farm, and proposed to the girl everyone said was right for him. But when Blanchard walks back into church with a little girl who looks just like him, everything he's built starts to fall apart.

Not to the cracked sidewalks and creaking porches of a town that watched everything give up. Not to the ghosts that still lingered in the house her mama left behind. And definitely not to... 𝙏𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙮 𝘾𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙝𝙖𝙢 - the boy who knew every inch of her heart before she ever learned how to guard it. But grief has a way of calling you home. Now, years later, Peach is back where it all started: sorting through her dead mother's things, drinking too much of her good wine, and pretending she doesn't notice the way Tommy still looks at her from five houses down. He's not the same golden boy she left behind. His shoulders are heavier. His smile - when it shows at all - never reaches his eyes. He spends his days fixing other people's things and taking care of a sick mother in the same house that's slowly falling apart. And still, somehow, he shows up. To fix her railing. To fix her roof. To remind her of everything they used to be before the world got too hard. She broke his heart once by leaving. He's breaking hers now by staying exactly where she left him.
